Expectations exceeded.

The husband and I were able to head to the Lou this past Thursday evening and we had such a wonderful time. First, a meal at Pi on the Loop. Garlic bread, a house salad, and a goat cheese and red pepper deep dish. I'd heard so many good things...enough to fear that it might just end up being a disappointment. But, twas not. It was wonderful. And we ate outside. Which was joyous despite the chill. Afterwards, we headed across the street to the Pageant to see The National, which was in one word: incredible. yes. Quick, sweet visit to be grateful for.

In case you haven't heard much about them... Chewbeads are baby-safe jewelry, especially great for teething (although I'm pretty sure you'll want to wear them way after the teething stops). Here are a few of the specifics, straight from their site : - Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples) - Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth - Easily cleaned with dish soap & water,

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY! Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson ! Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog. Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away. So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time! Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months. Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it). And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them. She’s convinced they are hers, I assume. So...Who can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod . I'm sure this is no surprise. As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there. And we continue to loooove, love, love their products. SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products . I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then. And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time. In love. And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults). Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing... I need to stop. Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card . Yep, that's right. I'm pretty stinking excited. I kind of wish I could enter! For details,
